I may contribute sometime. Also, don’t worry about your comment length — I’ve written comments barely shorter than the character limit!

I won't plan to delete any levels--however, they 𝘥𝘰 look irrelevant to PQ UP! and kind of bad at that time. You can 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 do whatever you want to PQ UP! levels; for example, but not limited to, contributing to PQ UP! levels as bonus levels, remixing existing levels of PQ UP!, and other contributions. This is, however, voluntary. You can just not accept this, and I'm not trying to guilt trip you. If you 𝘥𝘰 accept to contribute to PQ UP!, you can post this to your own account, or on 𝘮𝘺 account. (Still, this is 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 voluntary.) I'm sure you'll get the gist of it--the level design is quite simple. But still, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘷𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺. I 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 create levels after I buy a new PC; I am still saving for it.

zyphor, do NOT delete any of your old levels! I urge you! They are still interesting to play; it would be better to keep them archived!

“I 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 be coming back.” Now 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 is some good news! (On another note, I keep switching to a new tab when using the numpad to type quotes. 😤) Still, I wonder how vu and M got these times.

I doubt it. It would be quite comedic, though.

what if M is vu on a second account?

ILFC(Dozenalist)

That would be a funny plot twist! If that was a genuine question, it is highly unlikely. Plus, we know who M is (a person with the username of DoxtonPink), and I did not find him mentioning vu even once.

is vu M's brother?

That is perfectly understandable, albeit disheartening.

I could not make any levels anymore (and/or play levels with custom code) because my PC degraded and keeps getting BSODs. Farewell, I guess.

vu beat M again.

vu got the World Record, then M beat it, then vu beat M’s time, then M beat vu back. This is ridiculous.

on Sep 19, 2026 at 04:57

Oh well. I got a BSOD and my PC is getting weaker and weaker. This is the second BSOD. I have no hope. It will be a blessing after the PC is going back to normal. Expect no levels today.. sadly.

The .sb3 files are there for fun; you can see how the textures were made. They are not required. To use the rainbow trim texture, simply head to the Miscellaneous section and import ilfc_rainbowtrim2.png into Constructor, using it on trim. Keep the texture shift consistent, and you may need to manually scale the textures to the correct size. 0.5×0.5 seems to work.

zyphor

Follow up: They are Scratch files, and I'm guessing that that is the intended way to use the rainbow textures..?

zyphor

Very cool textures! However, may I ask why are there ".sb3" files? Is there any way to convert them to whatever extension is intended for?

“I need to ask though--can everyone use your textures for their own levels? It would be really nice if we had additional textures for custom levels.” Absolutely — that is the entire point of sharing the textures! Use them in any level. No credit is required. 👍 The textures have not yet been uploaded as they are unfinished. I can provide them now if desired, though they are mildly unrefined. “I cannot believe that you used a Scratch project as your personal Photoshop.” Yes, I know how stupid it is; it is quite humourous upon closer inspection. Admittedly, I often use paint.net for general recolouring (though I did not use it for recolouring the moving platform trim texturing), but I use TurboWarp for other general-purpose texture editing.

"As a side note, I would recommend creating a custom rock texture." I'm not an artist to create textures, let alone a cartoony tileable rock texture. I tried searching for a rock texture, however none of them fits my criteria.

I wanted to add more longer levels since players skimmed through the whole series. I would definitely make something close to 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 because it is genuinely painful to create these 45° convex curves. I won't create 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴 first because it's intended to be the last level of Chapter 2, and the PQUP Beginner series has only 5 levels.

You could also create a level like “Stepping Stones”. While I have finished it in less than 10.5 seconds, it takes a solid minute or two to complete casually. The large temporal gap between speedrunning and casual play makes the level more engaging — extreme shortcuts add depth to the level, enhancing the overall experience even when using the full route.

ILFC(Dozenalist)

This is a nice level, but I would suggest that last bouncy floor being further (or extended) from the wall so you are not required to slow down.

As a side note, I would recommend creating a custom rock texture.

ILFC(Dozenalist)

It is enjoyable to play a well-designed, easy level that takes about 1 minute for a casual player to complete, but about 10 seconds to speedrun. Think of “Archipelago”, which can be beaten in just over 8 seconds.

ILFC(Dozenalist)

Why not embrace short levels, especially with their shortcuts? Otherwise, simply make the level longer 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗽𝘀 by extending the path. Primarly focus on level length for casual players, not necessarily for speedrunners.
